View slide triggers for whole branch

Hi Glenn,

you could set up a variable 'branch complete' that you put onto the last slide of the branch and then only apply the tick when that variable is met

Hi Wendy,

Our users may select any slide in the menu so if I only put in on the last slide in the branch they will get a tick even if they have not viewed all previous slides in the branch. 

Hi Glenn. Given that SL doesn't have global or scene level variables you'll need to come up with a way to determine if a slide has been viewed. SL doesn't have variables that track slide visits either, so yes, this can indeed be quite manual.

What I suggest is that you create a unique master slide for each branch. Also create a unique number variable for each branch. On the master slide for the branch, insert a trigger that adds one number to the existing value (default value will be 0) of the new branch variable you created. Then back on the starting page where you have the button showing a branch is complete, add a trigger to change the state of the button to "complete" if the variable for the branch is equal to or greater than x number. The number would be the number of slides in the branch. I have attached an example (SL2) where the branch has 3 slides so on the starting page the button will change if the branch1 variable is more than 3.

This approach doesn't make any extra work for you save for having a unique master slide(s) for each branch.

Thanks Stephanie,

I get the idea. I am using SL1 so the file won't open but thanks for the guidance. 

Will have a go at it and let you know.

Stephanie, just wanted to thank you for that. Great time saver.
